Doctoral Researcher | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

As a Doctoral Researcher at the INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials, you will work at the intersection of synthetic biology and materials science. Your day-to-day responsibilities involve engineering microorganisms to create living therapeutic systems, performing advanced molecular cloning, and conducting protein purification and characterization. You will assess bacterial viability using techniques like FACS and microscopy, and collaborate on in vivo testing in zebrafish models. Additionally, you will analyze experimental data, contribute to scientific publications, and present findings at international conferences. This role is ideal for a self-motivated researcher looking to operate within the interdisciplinary LSC-Lifemat consortium. You will benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure, close mentorship from leading scientists, and the opportunity to shape future therapies that bridge biological function with advanced biomaterials. This position offers a unique environment for professional growth in a highly collaborative, international research setting.
